What makes this guitar special: Made for only a very brief moment in the late '80s, this gorgeous jumbo features an all black finish with gold hardware & hexagonal abalone inlays. A dynamite player offering warm, rich tones & powerful sound projection. Complete with original hardshell case & original owner's manual. A definite must have for any Martin enthusiast.
Cosmetic Condition: Pretty good shape for its age with some typical play wear - various minor nicks, chips, dents & dings; surface scratches & some mild finish wear. There's a tiny bit of shrinkage in the body binding just below the neck heel. Also you'll notice bits of finish chipping along certain areas of the body binding. Overall the guitar has a wonderful look to it & plays wonderfully.
